According to trainer Freddie Roach, Andrei Arlovski will move into boxing following his match-up with Fedor Emelianenko at the Affliction: Day of Reckoning PPV. Roach already knows who he wants Arlovski to face.

“Andrei’s going into boxing after this,” said Roach. “After we knockout Fedor, I’d like for him to challenege for the heavyweight championship against (WBA heavyweight champion Nikolay) Valuev.”

Andrei has the skills to box and compete with the best. Boxing is so diluted right now especially in the heavyweight division. Klitchko has a weak chin as well. I would love to see Andrei take a few fights to show his skills and then take on the champ. I think he would do well if for no other reason than Freddie Roach saying so.
